1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of ... Road, Deal, N.J., and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you, and you will give the interpretation and lessons to be gained from each of these, as I read same to you, and will answer the questions I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, with the enquiring mind of same. The dreams, as we see, are those interpretations of the subconscious with the physical and the superconscious through inductive reasoning forces, and are as the lessons that the entity through same may gain the better insight into the issues of life, using same to illustrate, direct, that message as may be given through this entity, see? Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Wednesday morning, August 26, 1925, at home in Deal. Seemed to be in school building and on my way to Block, Maloney's office. Stopped outside of the door to a classroom in which an orchestra was practicing. I heard the music as I listened at the door and wanted to go in, but concluded I had better be getting along. "They are only practicing anyway" I said. (A) In this we see the lessons are being gained through present physical experience and association, that better fits the entity for those truths as is seen and felt in the inmost self of entity in music, and as same is but the practice in the present experiences, the whole lesson then being a lesson of the oneness of the forces, when applied in the direct manner, see? For as is seen in office, orchestra, music and the lessons, all of the same oneness or necessity to the individual actions of the entity, [900]. Gain, then, the full conception through such lessons of the oneness of the forces as are being manifested to the entity in instances, as it were, in the imagination of the inner experience.
4. (Q) I met Ben Block and I said to him: "I forgot to send that letter to the Stock Exchange telling of our admittance to your firm as partners. I'll do that now." He

motioned I should and I thought of how calmly and quietly we took such a big event; that is, the announcement that [137] and [900] had been admitted as partners to the firm of Block, Maloney & Co. I mailed the letter with some stamps and money enclosed. (A) Still the same experience of the inmost forces of the entity, [900], showing that in the inner forces the larger magnitude only become as commonplace circumstances or conditions, and this, as we see, is of the omen to the entity of the rise in the financial circles and in circumstances and associations with others of the same cult, see? And as is seen in the mailing of the papers, of the stamps, that of the necessity of being a genuine condition to bring about such circumstances, see? Hence the greater lesson would be the genuineness of the individual actions toward all whom the entity may contact, especially in that of the uses of the forces as are manifested for the entity's advancement.
5. (Q) It seemed I was short some stock and that particular short sale interested Al Rosner, one of the partners of Block, Maloney & Co. It may have been Consolidated Gas. Al had a paper and the black mark seemed to be the short sale. He was standing on the edge of a swimming pool, I swimming in the water. Then again it seemed Consolidated Gas was a short sale. (A) This, as we see, another condition presenting to the entity the various phases of the oneness of all forces, as even pertain unto the conditions in which the physical forces are being enacted. As is seen in this, the body as seen short on these sales, see? and as this becomes, or is shown in the reflection of one on shore, the other in swim, showing how the relations may be one with another regarding this same stock, see? Given, then, rather as another interpretation or lesson as to how the Universal Forces may magnify rather than as a usage in sale of the particular stock as seen by the entity, [900]. Rather gain the lessons of how this meets with the conditions that will bring these two bodies closer together in their relations, see?
6. (Q) Has this any reference to Consolidated Gas being a profitable short sale at the present time? (A) Profitable short sale for this individual and in the manner it is being handled, yes.
7. (Q) What is the meaning of the reference to Consolidated Gas in this dream? (A) As the relation between the individuals and the individual's dealing in this gas, see?
8. (Q) I saw a metal eagle flying over the ocean. The
900-117 Page 3
metallic bird soared high and low, sometimes wavering and almost dropping into the water. Finally it landed safely, gliding gracefully though at times waveringly to earth. (A) This a presentation in an emblematical form to the entity of those highest elements of power and might in action, for as the golden eagle and the eagle itself representing the might, the power, that starts from across waters to the influence of the entity's forces; though this may be high and low in its outward appearance, the omen, as it were, coming then as the first presentations of many concerning these same forces as will be experienced by the body, or a entering into a more perfect understanding of those studies as the entity now entering into, see?
9. We are through with this reading.
